Race Tip
CHOOSE A COPPER (1) makes debut under rules representing new stable. Closed off previous season with a good second in a point-to-point at Dawston. Leading chance. V TWELVE (6) returned after a three month spell with a sixth on the flat. Brings hurdling experience which could be an advantage against this field. CARRIGEEN KALI (7) produced some solid performances in jumpers flats despite starting at long odds. Interesting switching to hurdles. ALL WAYS AND EVER (10) holds each way claims after a sixth on the flat at Bellewstown.
